Almost twenty-five years after a missed opportunity to hang out with his hero Adam Sandler, David Seth Cohen’s independent documentary ‘Finding Sandler’ has been selected to premiere at the 20th annual Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ on March 26, 2022 at the iconic venue Asbury Lanes.
‘Finding Sandler’ is Cohen’s quest to recapture what could have been. In 1998, while working on the smash hit "Big Daddy," Cohen passed up the chance to have a drink with Sandler, and after a vivid dream in 2006, decided to do something about it. Since then, Cohen has spent more than fifteen years trying to rewrite that moment with the comedic legend. Will the Sandman finally have that drink and give Cohen the closure he has been looking for? You'll have to see the film to find out.
“It’s an honor to premiere ‘Finding Sandler’ at the Garden State Film Festival,” says Cohen. "Since I was a kid, I always wanted to make a movie, and this missed opportunity with Adam Sandler inspired me to do it. ‘Finding Sandler’ is a tribute to him and anyone following their dreams.”
Inspired by Cohen’s mission, NYC rockers SKYFACTOR, whose music has been featured on MTV, NBC’s The Voice, and The Eric Andre Show, wrote and performed “Hey Adam”, the movie’s theme song which urges the A-lister to give Cohen a second chance. "We’re super excited to collaborate with David,” says SKYFACTOR lead vocalist Bob Ziegler. "His message of pursuing your dreams at any cost really resonated with us."
To promote the film’s debut, the official trailer and music video for “Hey Adam,” also directed by Cohen - which includes additional clips from the movie - have just been released. The single is now available on all major streaming services including Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
“I am humbled that the largest film festival in New Jersey and one of the most highly regarded in the United States selected our film to be part of their festival,” adds Cohen. To purchase tickets visit https://www.gsff.org/tickets/
